Burst my Bubble Baby.....

2 weeks ago I informed everyone important in my life that I was entering the "Sacred Six Weeks of Bar Review".....under no circumstances is anyone to relay any info that might create upset in any shape or form because I am not having it.....you can call it whatever you want, I call it "The Bubble".....and yes, is a ridiculous attempt to control things over which I have no control....but I try to maintain the bubble nonetheless....

In case you're wondering how the bubble has been working out for me.....

I've had to take my precious tyke to the pediatrician three times in two weeks....seems the little cherub is going to need minor surgery to rid her of these persisting ear infections ....this my perfect, healthy girl who up until just a few weeks ago, has never even needed to go the Dr....(forgot to tell the germs about the bubble).....the resident stud in my life let it slip that he is coming due for relocation in 6 months (yes I told him about the bubble, but like so many men, he f-d up this very simple concept)...this of course caused a major meltdown because I am particularly smitten with this particular stud and prefer him on this side of the country, thanks---and then he had the audacity to require major back surgery earlier this week (yes, I told him to tell the doctor about the bubble, and not to f up his back because I didn't have time to deal with that right now).....to add further insult, aforesaid surgery is highly likely to decrease stud's chances of um helping me through these last hazardous weeks of review in the way that studs are often most helpful......

Yeah ok.....so most of that is terrible.....and no I don't really mean it (kindof)......but wouldn't it be great if the world would stop long enough to get through these last trying weeks.....these weeks when the pressure is really, really on? Yeah, I'll dream on.....and get something stronger than a bubble obviously.....force field maybe?

Thanks for your humor. I am also in the seventh circle of hell with kids and husband who think that this little "test" that fret over is merely an SAT on steroids. This is my firt time, and I know I don't have enough character to do this again. And don't even get me started about the effects on my psche of reading for hours on end those endearing little vignettes in which contracts always go bad, police always search poor unsuspecting slobs, robbers accidenlty get caught up in felony murders, no one can write a will without leaving life estates, multiple springing and shifting executory interests, and the world is teeming with poor old slobs that accidentally "date" 16 year olds with post dated birth certificates. NO I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF DOING THIS AGAIN!!!!
